Re: Why has new bookwork installation given me a newer kernel than an upgraded bookworm?

That simply lists every possible matching package as far as I can see,
not what's actually installed.

You forgot the “policy” part.

None of the packages listed by "apt list installed 'linux-image*'" is
installed on my system.  If I do "apt list --installed 'linux-image*'"
which I think is maybe what was intended it shows nothing. In other
words the kernel is no longer in a package called anything like
linux-image.

Yes, no help.
 However I'm pretty sure I have found the problem, see:-
      https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=380470
 Obviously my 'older' system has been upgraded from Bullseye to
Bookworm but not properly/completely.  I don't really remember doing
it but I guess I must have at some point.
 

Ah. I think if you install the 'generic' kernel you will upgrade to the latest stable

It's not got a lot of cusotmisation, I'll probably just do a reinstall
from scratch which will guarantee it's 'clean'.
 

If upgrades get scratchy that's what I end up doing.
